French Riviera in 7 Days: The Côte d'Azur Done Properly | 2026

The French Riviera comes in two versions, and a handful of decisions made before you land in Nice settles which one you get. This french riviera luxury itinerary skips the rental car, the August crowds and Monaco as an afternoon, and builds the quieter week instead. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📄 The full 7DayLux French Riviera Blueprint (Couples): https://7daylux.com/destination?d=fre... 👨‍👩‍👧 Travelling with kids?

Days one to three are at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc on Cap d'Antibes: the first golden hour on the rocks, Cannes early with Le Suquet and a private boat to Sainte-Marguerite in the Îles de Lérins, then the Musée Picasso in Antibes, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the Fondation Maeght and Mougins. Day four takes the Moyenne Corniche past Èze to the Hôtel de Paris in Monte-Carlo, with dinner at La Chèvre d'Or. Day five is Monaco after the day-trippers leave: the Oceanographic Museum and Le Louis XV. Day six is the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Mirazur at Menton. Day seven is a slow last morning, then Nice. A private driver replaces the rental car throughout. Hotels, tables and opening days change, so verify the details before you book.
